At the beginning of August, He Meng led the commander of the Front Army, the 2nd Army, the 1st Artillery Division, and the 2nd and 3rd Artillery Brigades back to Urumqi, and the 2nd Army, the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Divisions, and the 1st Artillery Brigade were stationed in the Ili River Valley. The 7th Infantry Division of the 3rd Army, together with the 4th and 5th Cavalry Divisions, advanced from the Ili River Valley to the south. According to He Meng's order, Feng Jingzhang's division of the 1st Cavalry Division, which was on standby in Urumqi, marched to Korla from the Tianshan South Road, and after the military operation began, He Meng returned to Urumqi.

August is the season of attractive melons and fruits, apples from Yili, melons and grapes from Hami and Turpan, and the mouth-watering fragrance exudes in the streets and alleys of Urumqi. With the smooth passage of the Xinjiang Railway, the strong commercial atmosphere began to spread with unstoppable momentum. In the headquarters, He Meng and the headquarters personnel were tasting grapes, when the chief of staff, Lei Zhensheng, walked in and whispered: "Commander, they are here!" "Invite the guests in!" He Meng wiped his mouth and immediately stood up.

Shaoqing, the former governor of Yili, Shouguang, his wife and daughter Yilan, Shouguang's two sons and family members, huhula and walked in. "The guilty minister met with Commander He and thanked the imperial army for saving him from fire and water." Seeing that Shouguang was about to kneel, He Meng hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Lord Shou, you want to kill me, the imperial government is not willing to kneel." Lord Shou has made meritorious contributions to defending the territory, and has resisted the Russians in the Ili Valley for several years, and the president has very much appreciation for your actions. In view of your performance, your mansion in the capital has been returned. After the guest and host sat down, Shouguang was still excited.

Shouguang got straight to the point and said: "Commander He, don't blame the old man for being hypocritical, the thing that the old man is most concerned about at the moment is his son-in-law." I inquired with the troops in many ways, but I didn't know where my son-in-law Hao Bisheng was, so I asked the commander to tell me the truth. Is it that the son-in-law died. If killed. The little girl should know! "Lord Shou, I can tell you responsibly, your son-in-law was not killed, due to the special situation, he was on a special mission in the capital, so there are very few people who know."

Hearing this, Yilan immediately stood up and said, "Commander, my husband is in the capital?" He Meng smiled and said, "Miss Yilan." It's the first time we've met, but I know you. Don't worry, you'll see each other soon. Yilan was extremely excited when she heard this, and her somewhat haggard face turned red. It's your son put. Looks very much like Hao Bisheng! I'm afraid this kid doesn't know he has a son! Miss Yilan, you have suffered hardship, don't worry, you will meet soon. ”

He Meng personally set up a banquet to entertain Shouguang's family and personally arranged the itinerary. On the day of departure, He Meng personally went to the station to see him off. The commander personally saw him off. Let Shouguang shine. It's like going back to the time of the cow fork in the past. He secretly rejoiced that his daughter had chosen the right choice to marry a Wehrmacht officer. When he returned to his hometown and returned to the capital, his colleagues and relatives in the past would take a look at him. At least rely on his son-in-law in the future, and he can straighten his waist before and after, and Shou Guangmei is a little carried away.

The train rushed forward, and the iron flow rolled forward. Shouguang and the other family took the train for the first time, and they couldn't help but be excited. The children leaned on the window and looked out, and the ladies chattered. Constant clamour. Thinking of the steel dragon flying in the land of China, Shouguang's eyes couldn't help but moisten. What the Manchu court has long been lingered and forgotten, and in its place came a new life. As the saying goes: those who know the times are handsome, and the good perches on the wood, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has become history, so there is no need to ask for trouble.

At this moment, Yilan couldn't wait to fly to the capital immediately. Especially when I heard that my husband was still here, Yilan's haggard demeanor was gone, and instead of it, it was full of youthful brilliance, and the person looked much younger. Although she has lived with her husband for less than a month, her husband's voice and smile have already been deeply rooted in her heart, how many difficult nights are like her husband's son to give him hope and comfort, and she is about to meet her husband, who is about to meet her dream-haunting husband, Yilan's mood is like a fugue.

Knowing that a daughter is like a mother, Eniang saw that her daughter looked in a trance, and seemed to think of something: "Lan'er, my uncle has no relatives, will you live at home in the future?" Yilan shook her head and said: "My daughter is married, how can there be any reason to live in her mother's house, isn't that a son-in-law who is inverted, where do you put my husband's face?" "Grandson Hao, how can you become a son-in-law who is inverted, and besides, the son-in-law is on the team, and he is not at home for three days, and I don't feel at ease if you live outside." E-Niang tried to get her daughter to comply.

Yilan shook his head and said: "The Han people care about face the most, my husband is a dignified officer, if he lives in his mother's house, his husband will never agree." "Lan'er, I think so, Eniang told her aunt that if he agrees to live in her mother's house, you and the child will also take care of it." Yilan's mother insisted on letting her daughter live at home, and her purpose was naturally self-evident. thinks that when she left Beijing, she had unlimited scenery, and now it is impossible to have the past time when she returns to the capital, so she must let her daughter earn back face for herself. A woman's self-esteem is a woman's help to inherit a man's lining, and Mrs. Shou will not let go of this opportunity.

After returning to the capital, how to let her daughter live at home, Mrs. Shou discussed with the master, although Shouguang did not say anything, but in her heart she agreed with 120,000 points. Therefore, the lady decided to be the master and told her uncle in person. As long as the aunt agrees, the daughter can't say anything. The train stopped in Xi'an, and the family changed to a direct train to Beijing, which ran for eight days, and the capital was in sight.

At the special forces base in the suburbs of Beijing, Hao Bisheng, the colonel's chief instructor, observed the training of the team members on the playground. The General Headquarters requires that the special forces base train a number of special combat personnel every two years, first, to meet the battle losses of the special forces, and second, to prepare for the expansion of the special forces in the future. "Report to the Chief Instructor, the Commander asked you to go!" A communications soldier reports. Hao Bisheng walked into Jie Zhenguo's office, "Commander, what are your instructions?" ”

Jie Zhenguo said slyly: "Commander He commanded the Western Expedition army to capture the Ili River Valley!" "yes, so my wife is coming!" Hao Bisheng was overjoyed when he heard this. "Commander He personally sent your father-in-law's family on the train in Urumqi, the train arrived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you go to pick up the station!" Hao Bisheng heard that he pulled his feet and left, "Slow," "Commander, what's the matter?" "In view of your father-in-law's performance, the government has decided to return his house, which has now been renovated and addressed at 12 Royal Hutong."

The sun was blazing, and there were not many people on the platform. Hao Bisheng tied his horse to the horse post outside the station. Seeing that it was still early, I ate at the food stall at the station, and then hired three caravans. Pick up and drop off passengers at the station right now. It's all caravans. There are all kinds of caravans, and according to the luxury and comfort of the appearance, there are two types: high and low. Hao Bisheng naturally hired a high-end caravan.

The train panted and slowly stood steady on the platform, and Hao Bisheng was a little excited and watched the passengers who got off the train. Yilan was the first to get out of the car in a hurry, and was stunned when he saw Hao Bisheng standing in front of him in military uniform, not knowing what to say. "Ylan, you don't know me anymore!" Hao Bisheng opened his arms. Ylang Ylang's complexion changed dramatically. Suddenly threw himself into Hao Bisheng's arms and cried loudly. In this situation, Hao Bisheng was also very excited, and he didn't know how to comfort Yilan for a while. Just let her vent. The two brothers, their wife and their children got out of the car. The two sisters-in-law saw that it was undignified for the sister-in-law to hug her in public, so they stepped forward to persuade Yilan. Hao Bisheng greeted his uncle and sister-in-law, and then personally welcomed his father-in-law and mother-in-law to get out of the car.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law. It's been hard work along the way. Please be bowed by my son-in-law. Hao Bisheng bowed. Virtuous son-in-law, I thought that this old bone was lost in Yili, but I didn't expect that when I returned to the capital, we would be reunited. "Shouguang looked very natural, and Mrs. had tears in her eyes and couldn't cry." What to cry about, today is a day of great joy, you should be happy, and don't cry to disappoint people's fun. Madame wiped away her tears. He took the child from his arms and said, "Uncle! Look who this is, call Amma! ”

"Amma!" The little one screamed timidly. "This is my son?" Hao Bisheng's eyes widened in surprise. "Look at the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and the bottom. It's the same as you touch. The mother-in-law said angrily. I have a son, and I didn't expect him to grow up so much. Hao Bisheng hugged his son, kissed hard, and the stubble tied the little guy around. Maybe it's the blood relationship, maybe it's because Yilan often talks about Hao Bisheng, and his son quickly accepted him and said, "Amma, you are a soldier, I want to play with your pistol." Hao Bisheng couldn't refuse, and immediately pulled out the gun and withdrew the magazine. The little guy was very happy with the gun, and kept waving his mouth to imitate the movement of the gun.

In front of the No. 12 mansion in the Royal Hutong, Shouguang looked at his renovated door curtain and sighed: "I didn't expect that my Shouguang Jixing is shining high, and I am ashamed as a sinner in the previous dynasty." The capital has become so prosperous, it is a great change through the ages. In the previous dynasty, I could only see this scene in my dreams. "You wanted to get out of the car several times along the way, saying that you wanted to walk back to feast your eyes, and there will be time in the future, so that you can see enough." Madame dissatisfied. "Father-in-law, if you want to talk about the changes for three days and three nights, you will have time in the future, let's go in!" Hao Bisheng was worried about being alone with Yilan, so he was a little anxious in his heart.

The moon and stars will be shy this night, and the husband and wife are like Yan'er newlyweds, like glue. When the family had dinner in the morning, Hao Bisheng took out a silver ticket of 5,000 taels and handed it to his mother-in-law and said, "Eniang, this is a silver ticket of 5,000 taels." I know that you are suffering in Ili and have no savings left. You can use this money first, and you need to buy things and clothes at home. The mother-in-law did not hesitate to take the silver ticket, and everyone gave him grateful glances. After eating, the mother-in-law motioned for Hao Bisheng to stay.

At this time, Yilan was very impatient, she knew what her mother was talking to her husband. Soon, Hao Bisheng pushed the door in, "What is my mother talking to you about?" Yilan asked knowingly. Hao Bisheng took Yilan's hand and said: "I have no relatives, this is my home, and your parents are my parents." Yilan heard a sour nose and turned over and threw herself into her husband's arms. Don't be like this, I'm a soldier, I can't always be at home, and I don't have to worry about you two living in your mother's house. ”

Yilan remembered something and said: "You are too real, the money is given to Eniang, what should we do?" Hao Bisheng smiled and took out a silver ticket from his arms and said: "This is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, how can I forget my wife." "Where did you get so much money?" "My military salary is 200 silver dollars a month, and I have not spent much in recent years, plus the silver dollars I have been rewarded, and I have saved up. The money is yours to use. Yilan gratefully hugged Hao Bisheng again, and then there was a knock on the door outside.

It turned out that Shouguang received an invitation from Li Hongzhang, and Shouguang didn't pay attention to discuss with Hao Bisheng. Hao Bisheng told him that it must be good news to let him rest assured that he will go boldly. Sure enough, it was good news, in view of Shouguang's performance in the Ili River Valley, and considering that Shouguang was already in the age of ear shun, Li Hongzhang announced on behalf of the government that he would retire and retire for a long time, and that the government would provide a generous pension every month. Shouguang was grateful, and he asked his uncle to get a portrait of the president, and he had to bow and worship every day. (To be continued......)
